Wedding Cake - Epic Fail...

Morning all... something to sink your teeth into (or maybe not) with this gem of a story reported on the Huffington Post website...

Imagine, if you will, that you ordered a wedding cake that looks like three tyres (bear with us here).
A woman called Celia did just that. She was expecting it to turn out like this:

When actually, it turned out like this:

As a result, Celia put her wedding cake up for auction on eBay,
writing: "A few defects due to maker being unskilled. Uncut, along with
large amount of awful cupcakes for free. No topper or decoration.
Unusual design. Very heavy."

"Please note this cake will be inedible, therefore I do not take any
personal responsibility if any part is eaten by the buyer," she added in
a later note.

Unfortunately, Celia has now ended the item's listing - possibly due
to the health and safety concerns raised by a cakemaker and fellow
eBayer on the site. In response to her points, Celia wrote:

"It has been advertised purely as a joke and I'm not expecting
anyone to buy it. The cake was made for our wedding...and this is what
was waiting for us at our reception. We have things in motion to prevent
this person ever making a cake again and upsetting, or trying to rip
off other unsuspecting customers. I have amended the advert and added a
disclaimer, however I do not expect it to sell!"

Personally - I think she should use it on the day to carry on the joke :)
